Jiang Yue did so much for Lu Jingnian, and her feelings for him were the envy of countless people.
Commissar Yu knew very well why Pei Hengzhi was suddenly inquiring about Jiang Yue. Wasn't it because he envied Lu Jingnian? After Zhao Lanxi, whom he used to love deeply, married him, she not only didn't love him as much as he had imagined, but their lives were also a mess. In the end, Zhao Lanxi might actually have cheated on him.
Thinking back on how good Jiang Yue had been to him, Pei Hengzhi must regret not choosing Jiang Yue back then. So now he's inquiring about Jiang Yue, probably because he wants to turn around and compete with Lu Jingnian for her.
There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.
Upon realizing this, Political Commissar Yu instantly lost sympathy for Pei Hengzhi; Pei Hengzhi's current situation was entirely of his own making.
Lu Jingnian couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Political Commissar Yu said.
"Of course I believe my Yueyue. My Yueyue doesn't have the habit of picking up trash from garbage dumps."
Jiang Yue, who was standing nearby, almost burst out laughing when she heard this.
Is he indirectly calling Pei Hengzhi trash?
Political Commissar Yu knew that Lu Jingnian had a sharp tongue; if he wanted to insult someone indirectly, he could really drive them crazy.
"By the way, since you asked about Pei Hengzhi, I have something else to tell you. I heard that Pei Hengzhi is also retiring from the army."
"Is he being discharged from the military?"
Lu Jingnian was somewhat surprised by the news. With Pei Hengzhi's abilities, he would definitely have a bright future if he stayed in the army. He never expected that he would be discharged.
After thinking for a moment, he asked Political Commissar Yu, "Do you know why he wants to retire from the army?"
"I don't know about that. I only heard it from Lao Chen. I heard that Pei Hengzhi plans to go to Kyoto to develop his career after retiring from the army..."
As for why Pei Hengzhi wanted to develop his career in Kyoto after retiring from the military, Political Commissar Yu believed that he didn't need to explain it clearly; Lu Jingnian should be able to guess.
A cold smile flashed across Lu Jingnian's eyes as he said to the political commissar, "I understand. You can go ahead with your work. I'll contact you if anything comes up."
After saying that, Lu Jingnian hung up the phone and looked up at Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue was still in a daze about Pei Hengzhi's impending discharge from the army.
In the original book, Pei Hengzhi did not retire from the army, but rose through the ranks and eventually lived a shameless life with the female lead.
However, Jiang Yue quickly came to terms with it. In the original book, there was no mention of Pei Hengzhi and Zhao Lanxi getting divorced, and now the two of them are already divorced. From the moment she changed the fate of this villainous female supporting character, the plot of the book had already changed.
Regardless of what Pei Hengzhi and Zhao Lanxi were like, Jiang Yue was very clear that she only needed to live her own life. She would just listen to the gossip about things that had nothing to do with her and wouldn't interfere at all.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing Jiang Yue staring at the phone without saying a word, Lu Jingnian stood up from his wheelchair and walked towards her.
Jiang Yue snapped back to her senses when he called her name. When she saw him standing in front of her, her expression changed immediately. "Why are you standing up? Doesn't your leg hurt anymore?"
"Sit down right now."
As she was about to push the wheelchair, Lu Jingnian grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms. Then, Lu Jingnian's aggrieved voice rang in her ears, "Yueyue, you were distracted when you heard about Pei Hengzhi."
Are you feeling sorry for him?
Why would you think that?
Jiang Yue hugged his waist, trying to make him lean against her and put all his weight on her so that his legs would have to work less and he would feel a little better.
"I've been so good to you, don't you trust me?"
Jiang Yue hugged Lu Jingnian and immediately retorted with a question.
Don't think she doesn't know what this man is up to. Jiang Yue has figured it out. Ever since Lu Jingnian came back injured, he has become a cunning green tea flower. He not only likes to use cunning words, but also likes to pretend to be wronged and weak, all in order to take advantage of her.
"Of course I believe you, but the thought that Pei Hengzhi has feelings for you makes me angry."
Lu Jingnian's voice sounded even more aggrieved as he tightly embraced Jiang Yue.
"It's his business if he has feelings for me. I just need to ignore him, right?"
Jiang Yue really didn't intend to pay any more attention to Pei Hengzhi. Even if they inevitably met in the future, she planned to simply ignore him.
Jiang Yue was disgusted when she heard Political Commissar Yu say that Pei Hengzhi was asking about her and had designs on her.
"I wouldn't want a man like Pei Hengzhi even if he offered himself to me."
As Jiang Yue spoke, she looked up and kissed Lu Jingnian's chin. "I love you, and no one else can catch my eye."
Lu Jingnian was extremely pleased to hear her words.
How could he not trust Jiang Yue? He just wanted to take the opportunity to have her hug and kiss him.
"But I'm still very angry."
Lu Jingnian pinned Jiang Yue against a pillar, lifted her chin, and lowered his head to kiss her rosy lips. "Yueyue, you have to coax me."
Jiang Yue knew he just wanted to take advantage of her; what could she do?
A man you've spoiled should, of course, continue to be spoiled.
She stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Lu Jingnian's neck, and kissed him...
...
On the other side.
After Zhao Lanxi and Qiao Zhengxu returned to the hotel arm in arm, she angrily threw her bag on the ground.
"Xixi, are you still angry about Jiang Yue?"
Qiao Zhengxu patiently picked up the bag Zhao Lanxi had thrown on the ground and put it aside. He walked to the sofa, held her hand, and gently coaxed her, "Don't be angry. Didn't you say you liked that diamond ring you saw yesterday? Let's go buy it in a little while, okay?"
Just now, when we came out of the breakfast shop, Zhao Lanxi said she was going to buy a diamond ring, but after we came out, she directly asked him to drive back to the hotel.
Zhao Lanxi angrily pulled her hand away from Qiao Zhengxu's hand. "Jiang Yue said such awful things just now, she humiliated me like that, how could I not be angry?"
You know how bad my reputation is now. Everyone says I'm promiscuous, that I'm a slut. To marry you, my parents abandoned me, I lost my family... Waaah..."
In the end, Zhao Lanxi covered her face and cried in grievance.
Hearing her say that, Qiao Zhengxu felt both guilty and heartbroken. "Xixi, don't cry. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
It's all my fault, so why don't you hit me or yell at me to vent your anger?
It was his lack of discretion that led to such nasty rumors, which ultimately caused Pei Hengzhi to misunderstand...
The more Qiao Zhengxu thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He liked Zhao Lanxi. He had liked her from the first time he saw her, but at that time Zhao Lanxi was Pei Hengzhi's girlfriend. Pei Hengzhi was his good brother, and he couldn't steal his brother's woman, so he could only bury his feelings in his heart.
Qiao Zhengxu was really happy to marry Zhao Lanxi, even though he knew that Zhao Lanxi did not love him.
